You know that saying that the Ghosthunters coined so well "when in doubt get the hell out"? I never thought I would put it to use like I did this past weekend.
We deciced meaning my fiancee my two teenagers an idiot friend not mine the fiancee's lol to go on a hunt for a cemetary that is on almost every midwestern ghostly website... See me and my fiancee have been looking for this place ever since we saw it on the internet he wanted to go I really didnt cause of how creepy the place read anyhow.. So we find it and all of a sudden I get this overwelming feeling that there is something not right and we should just not be there. I tried to express this feeling to my fiancee but hes the roger ramjet type the I wanna see it I want to experience it, so he wasnt listening to me. Well this place is very very creep and scary to get to you go down a long dirt road after you get thru the front of it with cation signs everywhere. you are surronded on both sides by very dark woods that look like the guys from Wrong Turn live in em, then you go over this bridge that it looks like it saw its last covered wagon oh 100 yrs ago then you come to this cemetary with two gates that are wide open inviting you to come in. Well the min we turned in I was like get the f** out of here turn the f** around I am not staying here I have a feeling that this is not good.
Anyway so we settled on him turning around and parking right outside the entrance and leaving me and the kids in the car while him and idiot friend trapse off down said road to walk back.. Well still wasnt feeling it still had that feeling of dread yelled at him to come back, needless to say he was not happy but he came back we went home end of story.
But as soon as we left I felt ease it felt like the weight of the world was lifted like I could breath again
To make a long story short too late I know lol do you ever get that when in doubt get the hell out feeling? And if you do, do you go? Or do you overcome it and push on? Let me know perhaps give me tips for the next time.
On a side note we did go back the next day in the light of day and it was very very peaceful, maybe the saying is true evil things do happen at night or ghosts do come out and play at night, truth be told things really do look better in the light of the day.
Sounds like Bachelors Grove Id LOVE to go there day or night but NOT alone lmaooo. Id go with say 3 large men for protection, its the live peeps I am afraid of in the dark.

ditto, when im investigating an outdoor location I am always afraid of running into a crazyeee person with nothing to lose..thats why I bring my trustee stick..lol jk..but yeah really in terms of paranromal activity it really depends on ones own threshold and what type of activity is going on. Some places that I have investigated make you physically sick and obvioulsy almost impossible to stay there, also being scratched isn't too nice .. ![]()
I think sometimes your gut instinct it the best to follow. If you're not feeling right about a place then being there isn't right. Even if you do push yourself to stay you perception is already somewhat hindered and those simple shadows can easily become menacing looks into darkness.
My suggestion with situations like this is go during the day to get a feel for the area, once an area become more familiar to you then it starts that path to loosing it's creepy hold on you. Whether by having your curiosity take over or by you just having nicer memories to look back to. Also the familiarity of hey that's not a tall creepy fellow over there I remember that's where that sign or that tree was.
On the other hand pushing yourself to take that extra step further can help your strength in the long run.
so I guess bottomline comes down to you and how bad the feeling is vs. how strong your curiosity for the truth is. But no matter what always remember to stay safe and check what type of area it is you're investigating. The spooks aren't the only thing that can be out there so always remember to know the type of area you're getting yourself into.

Sorry not Batchlor's grove I wish lol although you are not allowed in there at night without permission anyway but it was one called Aux Sable Cemetary feel free to google it has the same rep as batchlors lol and it was that feeling of dread of if I go in there I will get hurt or worse and it was a feeling from the ghosties I think not from anyone alive. Oh well I did as DD said I went back durning the day the place was very peaceful and quiet. Maybe one day I will venture back at night Maybe
I had a similiar situation happen to me at home. About a year ago I was up late working as usual. I had left my cigs in the car so about 2 am, I turned on the front porch light and proceeded to my car parked next to our big boat in the driveway.
To set the scene a bit better, this was around the time when I had set up round the clock surveillanc cams outside in hopes of capturing Vincent.
Anyway when I almost got to my car i heard something moving about the brush on the other side of the boat which is where our garbage cans are located. It didn't phase me becuase I figured it was a deer, raccon or some varmit getting into the garbage..so I proceeded. When I was reaching for the door handle to open the car door, something moved on the other side of the boat, and hit up against the boat rocking it. Our boat weighs over 4000 lbs... 😮
Suddenly I had an overwhelming feeling of dread and "in my mind" something very large and black came over the boat and landed next to me, so close I could almost feel it breathing down my neck. I couldn't see anything but I strongly felt I wasn't supposed to be there! I was mentally being told to 'GET OUT"!
I turned and ran into the house as fast as I could, and by the time I got inside the door, I was frightened to such a state that I was hyperventilating (which i've never done) and I literally could not form a word! When I finally got out a high pitched scream, my entire family woke up. I've never been that frightened before in my life and don't ever care to feel that fear again.
This was during the time when Tim's original paranormal group was investigating at my house. About a week or two after this happened, they brought up a medium from Texas and a sensitive from Sacramento to my house. When discussing this terrifying event with both of them separately they mentioned feeling something about a mountain lion. One of the mediums asked me a clear question.
"did you feel like you were being warned, or being threatened"
This was the key thought to me and changed my thinking. I didn't know, but either was plausible.
When I set out to review the tapings of the surveillance cams set up around the area, the night after I had this awful experience, I found where the camera had recorded a mountain lion in the area of the movement heard that night. While the mtn lion could not have possibly made the boat move like it did, something pushed that boat.
Both of the mediums thought that whatever it was that scared me, did so to remove me from a potentially dangerous situation regarding the mtn lion.
Whatever placed that dreadful image in my head, knew that I wouldn't be affected by a simple rustling noise in the brush. But to protect me from a hungry mtn lion, placed the fear in me enough to get me inside the house to safety.
Still to this day, I never forget that experience. It's the only logical explaination to me. I didn't see anytihng come over that boat, but in my mind I certainly did.
I never go against my instinct. Its placed within us for a purpose.
You did right Lola.....when in doubt....GET THE HELL OUT!
thanks Krzy its good that whatever you have around your place wants to protect you. At first I thought the feeling was just me ya know it was my first time out and about as an armchair ghosthunter but after going to the 1st place with no feeling other than wow these are some old graves I thought it would be ok but no even after we left the place and I was a safe enough distance away when my fiancee tried to go back something just told me to get him back into the car so we could leave, dont know what it was. and like I said I did go back the next day in the light and it was a very peaceful place very beatiful with many very old graves..
First rule is safety of self, team members, and the integrity of the location. If ya dont feel you can do that, then get out. (Integrity of location also means no throwing up on the floor.lol)
while you don't want to let your imagination run wild and freak you out, if youre 'gut' tells you to leave, leave
we humans tend to talk ourselves out of listneing to our inner voice that tells us something isn't right
